Hippo Happy Hour

In late March, Poppy and Bubbles will move to the Fort Worth Zoo's brand-new African Savanna area. At their new Texas home, our beloved hippo pair will swim with thousands of colorful fish in a simulated African river, complete with a constant current and a state-of-the-art filtration system to keep the waters clean. The transfer is necessary as the Oregon Zoo prepares to break ground on an expanded habitat for rhinos, one of eight major projects made possible by the community-supported zoo bond measure passed in 2008.

Hippo Happy Hour will send the pair off in style, while raising support for the zoo’s mission of creating a better future for wildlife.

Tickets include one drink ticket for beer or wine, and the chance to enjoy happy hour at the zoo with grown-ups only. Come hungry! Food from some of your favorite local food trucks will be available for purchase, along with signature cocktails and Hippo Kiss artwork and merchandise.
